We live in rural Alaska, no cell phones, ect. In last 3 weeks have received over 100 calls (dem polls trying to get ya to vote for Begich) for all four family members; several a night actually. My son even had a call to go to a party at bar for the pot initiative; I asked the girl if she'd email her pict and I said I'd look for her, ha. We have only had 2 calls from the repub party, where I was talking to an actual person.

The dems are really going after the rural, mostly Indian votes. They are making sure the Indians vote enmass for the dems this time; usually Indians don't vote at all. We have 100,000 Indians in Alaska; I sure hope they all don't vote.

1. Fraud
2. Stupidity
3. Intimidation

The 3 pillars of rat politics.

They’ll continue this BS right up until Tuesday. Then all these articles will be flushed from memory. And they’ll start over talking about how the GOP is going to lose in 2016. How they need to reach out to Democrats. How they need to work with Obama. Etc.

1: Voter fraud on an epic scale

2: RINO war on the Tea Party

3: Alienating blue collar whites with shamnesty

Exactly. Suddenly there are headlines everywhere about nasty Republicans gaining in the polls blah blah even on Drudge (Ernst up by 7 points Aaaaagh the horror!!) - all to panic demoncRATS into getting off their arses to vote. It’s all slickery like media manipulation and head games. Nothing is real anymore. Can’t trust a damn thing going on out there. And if all else fails the ballot stuffing and dead people voting and illegals voting multiple times will seal the deal. And if that fails lawsuits and recounts will jack things up for months. Ain’t much USA left. The lunatics are running the asylum.

Fix is in here in Alaska. Two weeks back, dem donors funded program to get out the vote in rural villages. Indians stick together. Here in our village, even the Repub registered Indians are voting for Begich. I argued about how Begich will vote for left wing Sup Ct justices and void 2nd amendment and they didn't care; highly unusual. Promises of big money have been made to the villages. How it works in America I guess.

I'm worried it will throw a close election in dems favor and I am seeing it first hand, completely legal too. Indians are too stupid to realize they'll screw them too after Begich gets in, GRATES ME TO NO END.

Heard about it on a Hugh Hewitt replay the other night. The DNC has a ground game in your state that they hope will save them.

The E-GOP is so disjointed nationwide, and many like me won't volunteer after all the snubbing and sticking it in our ear, aka Mississippi and all the anti-teaparty shenanigans. And they have no master-plan or central website like this and they are 10 years behind.

And people wonder why we want a new party? The E-GOP has to be torn down to the Foundations and a new house needs to be constructed...

Like I was saying, I only had a couple calls from Repubs, had over 100 from dems; we live in a rural community that has an Indian Village 6 miles from town. Everybody here has had all kinds of calls.

Be close, sure hope the Repubs turn out to vote. There's 100,000 Indians, I bet 30-40 thou vote from dems ground game. Only 547,000 reg voters in Ak, more Repubs than dems, but 35K Indian votes can throw election in dems favor. You'd have thought the Repubs would have done better, must not care about Ak?

I didn’t receive a ballot. I am registered as a republican

Hmmm.

In 2010, we (all 7 of us) never saw a census taker. That was OK with me then, but now I wonder.

This statement is bogus:

In many of the key Senate races, the Democratic candidate prudently bought much of the available ad time early. This strategy had several advantages: It means they were able to run more ads than their challengers, they bought the ads when it was cheaper, and it drove up the prices for the ads that Republicans eventually bought.

Evidently the writer never heard of the “lowest unit rate” requirement spelled out in 47 U.S.C. Sec. 315. The GOP would be entitled to buy the same advertising at the same rate the ‘Rats bought it.

Depends on where you live? Just Google for info.

I didn’t receive a ballot.

I know a Democrat. I can get you a ballot. Just tell me which state. You won't even have to mark it; it comes that way.
